The Jamaican dancehall artist, who calls New York home, will play the venue on October 18 after releasing his EP "A Slight Delay".
NEW YORK, United States. Dancehall artist Kranium has announced a headline concert at Sony Hall in New York City on October 18, 2026.
The announcement, made on Friday, August 7, followed his performance at Reggae Land UK, according to Ronnie Tomlinson, the Jamaican-born, Brooklyn-based publicist and chief executive of Destine Media Inc.
"Widely recognized as one of dancehall's most distinctive voices, Kranium returns to the city he proudly calls home for an intimate performance," Tomlinson said.
A new EP and tour
The concert follows the release of his latest EP, "A Slight Delay", which Tomlinson said "showcases Kranium's continued artistic evolution while staying true to the melodic sound that has made him one of Jamaica's most recognizable contemporary artists."
Earlier this year, she said, Kranium also took the music on the road with his "A Slight Delay Tour".
Certified hits
Kranium broke through internationally with "Nobody Has to Know", which Tomlinson said has earned Platinum certification in the United States and Canada, multi-Platinum in the United Kingdom and Gold in New Zealand.
He has also earned certifications for "Gal Policy" and "We Can". Known as "The Melody Gad", he has worked with some of the biggest names in music.
"New York has always been home for me. Every time I perform here, the energy is different because these are the people who have been supporting me from the beginning," Kranium said.
"After everything that's happened this year, from touring to releasing 'A Slight Delay' and headlining festivals, it felt like the perfect time to come back with a headline show that the fans deserve," he added.
Tomlinson said fans could expect the songs that defined his career alongside music from the new EP.
